Climate Action Vision

The urgency of climate change demands immediate and intentional action.

Barnard has a responsibility to develop a clear and comprehensive plan to address climate change. This includes preparing our graduates to meet the challenges of climate change, making our institution more resilient and sustainable, as well as becoming a leader in developing research in the field of climate science. Our search for climate solutions is integrated with Barnard's broader commitment to the well-being of its students, the community, and the globe.

This Climate Action Vision statement is the product of two years of collaboration between students, faculty, staff, and administrators in order to develop a comprehensive plan to lower emissions and engage our community in climate action. Read our Climate Action Vision Statement.
